Brain injury assessments require the player to be honest. It's not like we can scan his brain.
To me you side on caution every time and a player always wants to go back out.

I will comment.The doctors performing the tests know a LOT more than I do..... I won't even bother commenting.
What if he lied about symptoms?
It seemed he was insistent to not go into the protocol in the first place.
It's not like they just ask if he's okay. Part of it is that they ask him a bunch of questions and see if he gives the same answers as during TC.
I've gotten a concussion in the past. I could answer questions fine.
EDIT: I think I agree with you. We need to stop giving players the benefit of the doubt.
I will comment.
I have seen enough players clearly concussed (and later confirmed) at the time of the incident allowed to come back across several leagues.
Tired of seeing it
Just to take things way off topic in the Buff concussion thread But it must feel like one hell of an opportunity for Schilling to get into a NHL game after 3 years. I'll be rooting for the guy.
There is actually no immediate test you can do after that can rule out a concussion, you can positively affirm one, but you can't say one wasn't suffered based on cognitive response tests.Because it must be inherently flawed if he passed it.
